(not sure if this is a bug or just my misunderstanding?)
I have a command-line utility that I'm writing. One of the things it does is read some of the files inside of itself. To do this, it does:
var path = Platform.script.toFilePath();
This works when I just run my script using dart. However, this fails when I run via pub run:
~/Code/stagehand[copy-dir-of-files*]$ pub run stagehand
Unhandled exception:
Unsupported operation: Cannot extract a file path from a http URI
0 Uri.toFilePath (dart:core/uri.dart:1583)

6 _RawReceivePortImpl._handleMessage (dart:isolate-patch/isolate_patch.dart:122)
Why am I doing Platform.script.toFilePath() ? I need to get a list of files inside a directory of my package. So I figured I'd first found out where I am and them go into lib/
basically, I need to be able to list files inside of my package. The next few lines go a little something like this:
var script = new File(path);
var dir = script.parent;
var filesDir = new Directory([dir.path, '..', 'lib', 'generators',
'webstarterkit'].join(Platform.pathSeparator));
print(filesDir.existsSync());
print(filesDir.path);
Should I be able to do Platform.script.toFilePath() and still let users run this script via pub run ?
Thanks!
